Nicolas,
Wow, that is way cool! How is he making these? Is he vacuum forming them? Does it have a back side?

I think he just use a chisel/big knive. He never makes 2 identicals, so it's not in a mold or anything. He says it's easy because it's not hard as wood, so you can carve it with a simple knife.
It has a back side yes, like a real wood one. I asked brown paints, but he usually paints with bright colors..., like those :
